What is another word for cerebral palsy?
Pronunciation: [səɹˈiːbɹə͡l pˈɔːlzi] (IPA) 
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects a person's movement, coordination, and muscle tone. It is caused by damage to the brain either before, during, or shortly after birth. There are several synonyms for cerebral palsy, including spastic diplegia, athetoid cerebral palsy, and mixed cerebral palsy. Spastic diplegia refers to the type of cerebral palsy in which the spasticity or stiffness is more noticeable in the legs than in the arms. Athetoid cerebral palsy, on the other hand, is characterized by involuntary and slow movements, while mixed cerebral palsy is a combination of both spastic and athetoid types. Regardless of its synonym, cerebral palsy is a condition that requires lifelong medical attention and support.
